    Rum and rose sounds like a cocktail gone right. It is. Sweet enough to pull you in, warm enough to keep you, and that oud keeps it from getting too soft.Secret Rose
    This is Shalimar for someone who wants the legend without the vintage drama. Citrus opens sharp, but the iris takes over, powdery, romantic, almost nostalgic.Shalimar Philtre de Parfum
